I believe Crown Point and Red Cloud were new installations from the lift installation survey.

[floridaskier]

Doesn't Red Cloud use the same motor room? I know Crown Point had a new one. And I thought Crown Point had the tension terminal off Carpenter, it's got a counterweight while the other two lifts installed that year have hydraulic tensioning

They put some Yan chairs on the Judge lift? When I was there at Christmas, they were all CTEC chairs (not all matched up or anything, the number stickers were way off and a select few chairs had backrest pads)
I think they made the best of the four quads at the top of Flagstaff by having Silver Strike (pics here) fly over the main crowds and end up on a hill behind the rest. I was woried it would be dumping everyone right next to Quincy (although for the amount of people that were riding it, it doesn't seem to be much of a problem yet)
The Silver Strike lift is my avatar icon

I guess we can expect another UNI-GS then for the Sultan Express? (do they just not care about experts at all, that green run would put a whole bunch of beginners over there that shouldn't be there)

[SkiBachelor]

That suprises me that DV would even consider purchasing a Leitner-POMA because the only lifts that DV has bought in the past are all part of the Doppelmayr CTEC empire. However, maybe L-P contacted DV and gave them a bid?

[floridaskier]

They could have been playing Doppelmayr CTEC to give them a better deal on it by looking at LP, they wouldn't want to lose a pretty loyal customer. And it wouldn't make much sense for DV to introduce a whole different type of lift, they would have to get new spare parts, train more mechanics, etc

[highspeedquad]

Deer Valley does seem to be a loyal customer to the Dopp/gara/ctec family. Considering the have no L-Ps you would definitely assume a Dopp/Ctec. BTW, what is the UNI-GS? Is that just the stealth?

[Boeinglover]

No idea! what is everyone talking about here with this lift that is being demolished and relocated? I don't get it.

[floridaskier]

Once lifts are removed, they can be sold to other areas and reinstalled at a new mountain (or on the same mountain)

To clarify -
A Stealth 1 - 1993-1994/5?



A Stealth 2 - 1994/5-1999?



A Stealth 3 - 2000-2004



A UNI-GS - 2004-
The UNI-GS is the new CTEC terminal design that debuted last year and is now the only CTEC terminal built in the US. It's similar to the UNI-G but was designed to replace the Stealth 3 and be easier to work on than the UNI-G. It's not especially popular here, but I don't mind it all that much. It's in my avatar icon

OK, thanks. So there is a difference between UNI-GS and Stealth.

It appears that the link you posted for the picture is wrong. You should consider uploading it to the forum if it's not too big.

It sounds like the planned six-pack at Snowmass is a go for this summer. I found an article in the Denver Post last night about it.

[poloxskier]

Hmmm, will the six-pack replace something or is it going to be an expansion?

[SkiBachelor]

It's going to replace Fanny Hill most likely.

Sorry Jeff G, I don't think it will have any leg rest bars since this is a short lift.

[poloxskier]

Interesting, do they really need that much capacity?.

Well that is crap

Hunter is planning on installing a quad. I'm not sure if it's fixed or detachable though.

[mcjones55]

I was talking with some folks from the Deer Crest Development today the Rosevelt Gap (area above snowpark lodge @ DV towards Deer Crest) project is back on. Work has not started up again but it should resume this spring and part of the project is a Funitel from the snowpark area up to the hotel. It won't be going in this summer but mabye next year?

[SkiBachelor]

A funitel is a complete waste and overkill for something like that I think. But hey, if they want to waste their money on something like that, let them. They will just have to learn the hard way. :---:

[floridaskier]

A funitel from Snow Park to the hotel would be really awesome but it would be about a 1 minute ride with about 10 cabins, the biggest waste of money in history. If they were going to install any lift there, maybe a pulse gondola, or even putting Sultan there when the high speed quad goes in (which I hear is a definite now, as are the runs going down to it from Wasatch and Mayflower)
The Deer Crest guy, did he seem to know what he was talking about? Maybe he heard 'funicular' because that might make a little more sense
